To atleast direct me to websites where there's more than color and weight of a dog. I used to think a dog was just a pet and now I'm totally an animal lover.
Ok yeah there are some stupid people out there but hanging up on how much? that is plain rude. That's why there's still backyard breeders. |
Let me explain a bit. Breeders take offense when people's first and foremost question is how much? We view it as that is their only concern. Not that one shouldn't be concerned, it is a major purchase. But, most of us that breed to improve the breed, feel that a person's first concern should be about us as a breeder. The health of the dogs and puppies. If we hear the first words out of a potential clients mouth are "how much" we feel they are bargin shopping....
